What if Hillary doesn’t run for president in 2016?

For Democrats, there is no fallback: Its Hillary Clinton or probably a long bout of depression ahead of 2016.

With expectations hitting a fever pitch three-and-a-half years out that Clinton is running for president again, every move she makes  a video endorsing gay marriage, a coy line about supporting a woman president  moves the excitement a notch higher. So too do endorsements from former critics  House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Missouri Sen. Claire McCaskill, among others.
